Wow, the title of today’s post is a long one, right? There’s just so much goodness happening today that I had a hard time deciding which recipes to include and which not to… so I just included all three.

I was a recipe making machine yesterday afternoon and for good reason, too. Despite Kevin and I consuming 2 apples a day, we’ve barely made a dent in the collection of apples we picked the weekend before last. I was a bit skeptical of adding apples to a curry-inspired recipe but hey, why not?

The result was blog-worthy, as Kevin calls it when he taste tests something and smiles from ear to ear. For serious though, this recipe rocks the casbah. The apples make it sweet, the cauliflower makes it ridiculously creamy, it’s just a tad-bit spicy, and has bold curry flavor.

Top it all off with some crunchy roasted chickpeas and you have a meal fit for any blustery afternoon… and we’ve been having a lot of those lately.

Kevin and I made our weekly visit to Tau Market in Dorval this past weekend and found the most amazing (and cheap) organic, local cauliflowers! Just $1.39 per cauliflower… and they were ginormous!

I’m sure you know the trick to peeling a garlic clove quickly and easily, but I had to share in hopes that maybe just one of you haven’t tried it this way! You place the garlic clove underneath a big/fat knife and press on the knife gently. All you need is to crush the clove, just a bit. Remove the knife and lift off the garlic shell.

So easy!

Once your garlic and onions are roughly chopped, add them to a large saucepan with the oil and saute until soft.

Add the spices and cook for a bit longer.

Add the remaining ingredients, cover and bring to a boil. Then, reduce heat to low and simmer.

Puree, and enjoy!

Oh yes, and the curry powder is homemade! I’ve been unable to have curry powder for as long as I remember. I break out into hives and suffer from an incredibly horrible reaction when I eat it. The curry powder in India didn’t do it, but every single brand that I’ve tested at home or at a restaurant yields the same result. I think it has something to do with my allergy to peanuts and the mixtures having spices that may be related to the legume family.

Heh, whatever the reason, now I have a solution – make my own and be done with it!

If you do not have cinnamon bark, use cinnamon sticks or ¼ teaspoon of Saigon cinnamon
If you are sensitive to cayenne and peppers, try replacing cayenne with 1 teaspoon of ground ginger

I really enjoy making my own spice mixtures and this curry powder was no different. Not only does the mix go great in a soup like this one, but you can also add it to popcorn with a bit of coconut oil… mmmm.

Toasting the spices are important. Make sure you don’t skip this step!

I would like to show my appreciation to you for resuicng me from this type of issue. Because of looking out throughout the the net and getting methods that were not powerful, I believed my entire life was gone. Living without the strategies to the problems you’ve solved through the article is a crucial case, as well as those which might have in a negative way damaged my entire career if I had not come across the blog. Your personal expertise and kindness in taking care of all the things was excellent. I am not sure what I would’ve done if I hadn’t come upon such a stuff like this. I can also now look ahead to my future. Thanks so much for your high quality and results-oriented guide. I will not hesitate to propose your web site to any individual who desires support on this subject.

Hi! I’m Leanne

Holistic Nutritionist + keto enthusiast. I want to live in a world where every woman loves her body, nourishing fats are enjoyed at every meal, and the word “restriction” isn’t in the dictionary. Read more about me…

Praise

I am a 64-year-old, overweight, prediabetic, worn out, stressed out, etc. woman who just discovered Leanne on YouTube. After two weeks on Leanne’s version of ketoI can relax, be balanced, have fun, and best of all stick to this way of eating that is going to change my life.

 Martha

I have had issues with my menstrual cycle and being on oral contraceptives. I saw my physician and she is supportive of my whole food keto lifestyle and is supportive of me going off hormones for birth control. I want to thank you for being so open about your experiences and inspiring me to find my path. I think I’m on the right path now to find what works to be my best self.

 Amanda

I’m fairly new to keto and low carb (about 3 months) and I’ve never felt better. I’m totally addicted to consuming as much knowledge as my brain can take and it doesn’t feel like enough! I am amazed by what I’m learning, by what I’m feeling and by the desire I can feel inside myself to help people! I’m very inspired by you Leanne – thank you!

 Shauna

Deciding to go ketogenic was one of the best decisions I made. The keto lifestyle has not only helped me get closer to my goal weight, but it has given me an abundance of energy, has boosted my confidence, and has helped me overcome depression.

 Emily

I had been at a plateau in my weight loss for over a month. After watching your videos about fasting and carbing-up, I’m finally back into losing weight! Thanks for all the great tips. I enjoy learning about keto and all of its aspects.

 Heather

Fat adapting has truly simplified my life and gave me the energy to do what I love! Plus, Leanne’s approach to keto food prep is so effortless. Everything tastes amazing!

 Breana

I love this program! After watching some of Leanne’s videos, I decided to take a risk by eating high-fat. My body has healed SO MUCH over the past few months. Fat fueled is an awesome guide to eating high fat and healing your body.

 Luise

After reading Fat Fueled, I’ve found that Leanne is a ball of badassness covered in keto chocolate scrumptiousness and topped with a piece of bacon…and she’s smart!

 Jasmine

First of all, thank you for being absolutely amazing! I’m eating higher fat and lower carb now… I cannot even begin to describe how much better (and finally free and ‘in control’ of my cravings) I feel by eating keto!

 Jana

Leanne is extremely intelligent and hilarious. Fat Fueled is an honest and eye-opening look into using fat to balance the body that anyone can understand and implement for lifelong change. I have already recommended it to everyone that I know!

 Megan

I just stumbled upon your podcast and every single episode has resonated with me in ways I cannot even believe. I have been feeling pretty alone in my process recently- from my recovery from anorexia to struggling with keto (after having some of the same symptoms you had) and I just want you to know that you have helped me find the answers that I have been searching for.

 M

I have been tracking macros, but for the last couple of years my hormones felt so off, and my energy was at its lowest. I already feel amazing by following The Keto Beginning, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds. Thank you for helping me feel good again.

 Chloe

Thank you for all of your positive videos and amazing knowledge. I used to eat fast food almost every day and I was 110kg (242 lbs), but I’m now down to a healthy 77kg (170 lbs). I started out eating paleo, but have recently changed to your keto eating plan and I am very excited!

 Sheldyn

My husband & I started keto 27 weeks ago & it has changed us! Down 76lbs! No more sleep apnea, knee pain, IBS & so much more. You have inspired me along the way.

 Pam

Just wanted to thank you for being you, Leanne! I started binge watching your channel about two weeks ago and committed to keto after listening to your stories. We have a lot of parallels and I was suffering from extreme exhaustion and adrenal fatigue. Two weeks later and I’m already feeling SO much better!
